Experiment No.: 1 STUDY OF THEODOLITE OBJECTIVE: To study different parts of transit Theodolite and Temporary adjustments. DEFINITON AND TERMS VERTICAL AXIS: It is the axis about which the telescope can be rotated in a horizontal plane. HORIZONTAL AXIS: It is the axis about which the telescope can be rotated in a vertical plane. LINE OF COLLINATION: It is the imaginary line joining the intersection of the cross hairs of the diaphragm to the optical center of the object glass and its continuation. AXIS OF THE TELESCOPE: It is the line joining the optical center of the object glass to the center of the eye-piece. AXIS OF THE LEVEL TUBE: It is the straight line tangential to the longitudinal curve of the level tube at the center of the tube. Department of Civil Engineering, B.V. Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT) CENTERING: The process of setting the theodolite exactly over the station mark is known as centering. TRANSITING: It is the process of turning the telescope in vertical plane through 180º about the trunnion axis. DESCRIPTION OF EQUIPMENT: TELESCOPE: It consists of eye-piece, object glass and focusing screw and it is used to sight the object. VERTICAL CIRCLE: It is used to measure vertical angles. LEVELLING HEAD: It consists of two parallel triangular plates called tribrach plates. Its uses are 1. To support the main part of the instrument. 2. To attach the theodolite to the tripod. LOWER PLATE: It consists of lower clamp screw and tangent screw. UPPER PLATE: The upper plate is attached to the inner axis and it carries two verniers. It consists an upper clamp screw and tangent screws. These screws are used to fix upper plate with lower plate accurately. FOOT SCREWS: These are used to level the instrument PLUMB BOB: It is used to center theodolite exactly over the ground station mark. SWINGING THE TELESCOPE: It means turning the telescope about its vertical axis in the horizontal plane. A swing is called right or left according as the telescope is rotated clockwise or counter clockwise. FACE LEFT: If face of the vertical circle is to the left side of the observer, then the observation of the angles taken is known as face left observation. FACE RIGHT: If the face of the vertical circle is to the right side of the observation, then the observation of the angles taken is known as face right observation. CHANGING FACE: It is an operation of bringing the face of the telescope from left to right and vice-versa. TEMPORARY ADJUSTMENTS: Department of Civil Engineering, B.V. Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT) There are three temporary adjustments of a theodolite. These are 1. Setting up the theodolite over a station. 2. Leveling up. 3. Elimination of parallax. SETTING UP: It includes two operations 1. Centering a theodolite over a station: Done by means of plumb bob. 2. Approximately leveling it by tripod legs only: Done by moving tripod legs radially or circumferentially. LEVELING UP: Having centered and approximately leveled the instrument, accurate leveling is done with the help of foot screws with reference to the plate levels, so that the vertical axis shall be truly vertical. To level the instrument the following operations have to be done. 1. Turn the upper plate until the longitudinal axis of the plate level is roughly parallel to a line joining any two of the leveling screws (A & B). 2. Hold these two leveling screws between the thumb and first finger of each hand uniformly so that the thumb moves either towards each other or away from each other until the bubble comes to the center. 3. Turn the upper plate through 90º i.e until the axes of the level passes over the position of the third leveling screw ‘C’. 4. Turn this leveling screw until the bubble comes to the center. Department of Civil Engineering, B.V. Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT) 5. Rotate the upper plate through 90º to its original position fig(a) and repeat step(2) till the bubble comes to the center. 6. Turn back again through 90º and repeat step 4. 7. Repeat the steps 2 and 4 till the bubble is central in both the positions. 8. Now rotate the instrument through 180º. The bubble should be remaining in the center of its run, provided it is in correct adjustment. The vertical axis will then be truly vertical. 3. ELIMINATION OF PARALLAX: Parallax is a condition arising when the image formed by the objective is not in the plane of the cross hairs. Unless parallax is eliminated, accurate sighting is not possible. Parallax can be eliminated in two steps. a. FOCUSSING THE EYE-PIECE: Point the telescope to the sky or hold a piece of white paper in front of the telescope. Move the eyepiece in and out until a distant and sharp black image of the cross-hairs is seen. b. FOCUSSING THE OBJECT: Telescope is now turned towards object to be sighted and the focusing screw is turned until image appears clear and sharp. Department of Civil Engineering, B.V. Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT) Experiment No.: 2 MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTAL ANGLE BY REPETITION METHOD OBJECTIVE: To measure a horizontal angle by repetition method. THEORY: In this method, the angle is added several times mechanically and the value of the angle obtained by dividing the accumulated reading by the number of repetitions. EQUIPMENTS USED: • Transit Theodolite • Tripod and • Ranging rods PROCEDURE: 1. Set up the instrument over ‘O’ and level it accurately. 2. With the help of upper clamp and tangent screw, set 0º reading on vernier ‘A’. Note the reading of vernier ‘B’. 3. Release the upper clamp and direct the telescope approximately towards the point ‘P’. Tighten the lower clamp and bisect point ‘P’ accurately by lower tangent screw. 4. Release the upper clamp and turn the instrument clock-wise towards Q. Clamp the upper clamp and bisect ‘Q’ accurately with the upper tangent screw. Note the readings of verniers ‘A’ and ‘B’ to get the values of the angle POQ. 5. Release the lower clamp and turn the telescope clockwise to sight P again. Bisect P by using the lower tangent screw. 6. Release the upper clamp, turn the telescope clockwise and sight Q. Bisect Q by using the upper tangent screw. Department of Civil Engineering, B.V. Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT) 7. Repeat the process until the angle measured (required number of times is 3). The average angle with face left will be equal to final reading divided by three. 8. Change face and make three more repetitions as described above. Find the average angle with face right, by dividing the final reading by three. 9. The average horizontal angle is then obtained by taking the average of the two angles with face left and face right. Department of Civil Engineering, B.V. Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT) Experiment No.: 3 MEASUREMENT OF HORIZONTAL ANGLE BY REITERATION METHOD OBJECTIVE: To measure horizontal angle by reiteration method. EQUIPMENTS: • Transit Theodolite • Tripod and • Ranging rods PROCEDURE: If it is required to measure angles AOB, BOC, and COD etc by reiteration method The following steps are to be used. 1. Set the instrument over “O” and level it set the Vernier to zero and bisect point A accurately. 2. Loose the upper clamp and turn the Telescope clockwise to point B. Bisect B by using the upper tangent screw. Read both the Verniers, the mean of the Verniers will give the angles AOB. 3. Similarly, bisect successively C, D etc, thus closing the circle. Read both the Verniers at each bisection. 4. Finally sight to A the reading of the vernier should be the same as the original setting reading. Repeat the steps 02 to 04 with other face i.e. face Right. Department of Civil Engineering, B.V. Raju Institute of Technology (BVRIT) Experiment No.: 4 & 5 DETERMINING AN HEIGHT OF OBJECT BY MEASURING VERTICAL ANGLE OBJECTIVE: Determining a height of object by measuring vertical angle.

  • Plane Table Civil Engineering Department Integral
    CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT INTEGRAL UNIVERSITY LUCKNOW Basic Survey Field Work (ICE-352) The history of surveying started with plane surveying when the first line was measured. Today the land surveying basics are the same but the instruments and technology has changed. The surveying equipments used today are much more different than the simple surveying instruments in the past. The land surveying methods too have changed and the surveyor uses more advanced tools and techniques in Land survey. Civil Engineering survey is based on measuring, recording and drawing to scale the physical features on the surface of the earth. The surveyor uses instruments for measuring, a field book for recording and now a days surveying softwares for plotting and drawing to scale the site features in civil engineering survey. The surveying Leveling techniques are aided by instruments such as theodolite, Level, tripods, tapes, chains, telescopes etc and then the surveying engineer drafts a report on the proceedings. S.NO APPARATUS IMAGE DISCRIPTION . NAME In case of plane table survey, the measurements of survey lines of the traverse and their plotting to a suitable 1- PLANE TABLE scale are done simultaneously. Instruments required: Alidade, Drawing board, peg, Plumbing fork, Spirit level and Trough compass . The length of the survey lines are measured with the help of tape or chain. 2- CHAIN AND TAPE Compass surveying is a type of surveying in which the directions of surveying lines are determined with a 3- PRISMATIC magnetic compass. &SURVEYOR The compass is CAMPASS generally used to run a traverse line. The compass calculates bearings of lines with respect to magnetic north.

  • 6. Determination of Height and Distance: Theodolite
    Geography (H), UG, 2nd Sem CC-04-TH: Thematic Cartography 6. Determination of Height and Distance: Theodolite What is Theodolite? A Theodolite is a measuring instrument used to measure the horizontal and vertical angles are determined with great precision. Theodolite is more precise than magnetic compass. Magnetic compass measures the angle up to as accuracy of 30’. Anyhow a vernier theodolite measures the angles up to and accuracy of 10’’, 20”. It is of either transit or non- transit type. In Transit theodolites the telescope can rotate in a complete circle in the vertical plane while Non-transit theodolites are those in which the telescope can rotate only in a semicircle in the vertical plane. Types of Theodolite A Transit Theodolite Non transit Theodolite B Vernier Theodolite Micrometer Theodolite A I. Transit Theodolite: a theodolite is called transit theodolite when its telescope can be transited i.e. revolved through a complete revolution about its horizontal axis in the vertical plane. II. Non transit Theodolite: the telescope cannot be transited. They are inferior in utility and have now become obsolete. Kaberi Murmu B I. Vernier Theodolite: For reading the graduated circle if verniers are used, the theodolite is called a vernier theodolit. II. Whereas, if a micrometer is provided to read the graduated circle the same is called as a Micrometer Theodolite. Vernier type theodolites are commonly used. Uses of Theodolite Theodolite uses for many purposes, but mainly it is used for measuring angles, scaling points of constructional works. For example, to determine highway points, huge buildings’ escalating edges theodolites are used.

  • Comments on Double-Theodolite Evaluations
    322 BULLETIN AMERICAN METEOROLOGICAL SOCIETY Comments on Double-Theodolite Evaluations ROBERT O. WEEDFALL AND WALTER M. JAGODZINSKI U. S. Weather Bureau (Original manuscript received 7 May 1960; revised manuscript received 26 August 1960) 1. Introduction After reading an article [1], in the May 1959 issue of the Bulletin of the AMS wherein Mssrs. Hansen and Taft describe another method of computing double-theodolite runs, it was realized that a method developed at the AEC installation at Yucca Flat, Nevada is even more efficient than any previous method and could be of great value in speed and saving of man-hours to those wind- research installations that use the double-theodo- lite method. Further, it does not need special plotting boards but utilizes the standard Weather Bureau equipment with a few ingenious adaptations. FIG. 1. Winds-aloft plotting board, showing position of three distance scales. (360-deg intervals not indicated.) 2. Materials needed (1) Winds-aloft plotting board (fig. 1). A 3-ft-square board with distance scales running from the center to the bottom, with a movable circular piece of plastic attached to the center of the board, whose outer edge is marked off in 360-deg intervals. (2) Circular protractor (fig. 2). A 10-inch- square piece of clear plastic divided into 360-deg intervals. (3) Appropriately marked scale in the shape of an "L" (fig. 3).

  • Parts of Theodolite and Their Functions Pdf
    Parts of theodolite and their functions pdf Continue The components and their the TheodoliteA compass functions measure direction by measuring the angle between the line and the direction of the reference, which is a magnetic meridian. The compass can measure angles up to 30 accuracy and judgment to 15. The principle of the compass is based on the property of the magnetic needle, which at free suspension takes the direction of north-south. Thus, compass measurements affect external magnetic influences, and therefore in some areas the compass is unsuitable. In this here we will discuss another method of measuring the direction of lines; theodolit is very often used to measure angles in the survey work. There are various theodolites, optical, electronic, etc. improvements (from one form to another) have been made to ensure simplicity of work, better accuracy and speed. Electronic theodolites display and store corners at the touch of a button. This data can also be transferred to the computer for further processing. We begin our discussion with the simplest theodolite-faithful theodolite. Theodolit is a simple and inexpensive tool, but very valuable in terms of measuring angles. The common vernier theodolite measures angles up to an accuracy of 20 in the compass, where the line of sight is simple, limiting its range, theodolites are provided by telescopes that provide a much greater range and better ac-curacy in sighting distant objects. It is, however, a delicate tool and should be treated with caution. Theodolit measures horizontal angles between lines and can also measure vertical angles. The horizontal angle measured can be turned on by angle, angle of deviation or outer angle in the traverse.

  • Theodolite Surveying
    THEODOLITE SURVEYING 1 So far we have been measuring horizontal angles by using a Compass with respect to meridian, which is less accurate and also it is not possible to measure vertical angles with a Compass. So when the objects are at a considerable distance or situated at a considerable elevation or depression ,it becomes necessary to measure horizontal and vertical angles more precisely. So these measurements are taken by an instrument known as a theodolite. THEODOLITE SURVEYING 2 THEODOLITE SURVEYING The system of surveying in which the angles are measured with the help of a theodolite, is called Theodolite surveying. THEODOLITE SURVEYING 3 THEODOLITE The Theodolite is a most accurate surveying instrument mainly used for : • Measuring horizontal and vertical angles. • Locating points on a line. • Prolonging survey lines. • Finding difference of level. • Setting out grades • Ranging curves • Tacheometric Survey THEODOLITE SURVEYING 4 TRANSIT VERNIER THEODOLITE THEODOLITETHEODOLITE SURVEYING SURVEYING 5 TRANSIT VERNIER THEODOLITE Fig. Details if Upper & Lower Plates.

  • Theodolite Survey
    1 THEODOLITE SURVEY RCI4C001 SURVEYING Module IV Theodolite Survey: Use of theodolite, temporary adjustment, measuring horizontal andvertical angles, theodolite traversing Mr. Saujanya Kumar Sahu Assistant Professor Department of Civil Engineering Government College of Engineering, Kalahandi Email : [email protected] Theodolite Surveying 2 The system of surveying in which the angles (both horizontal & vertical) are measured with the help of a theodolite, is called Theodolite surveying Compass Surveying vs. Theodolite Surveying ➢Horizontal angles are measured by using a Compass with respect to meridian, which is less accurate and also it is not possible to measure vertical angles with a Compass. ➢So when the objects are at a considerable distance orsituated at a considerable elevation or depression ,it becomes necessary to measure horizontal and vertical angles more precisely. So these measurements are taken by an instrument known as a theodolite. How Does a Theodolite Work? A theodolite works by combining optical plummets (or plumb bobs), a spirit (bubble level), and graduated circles to find vertical and horizontal angles in surveying. An optical plummet ensures the theodolite is placed as close to exactly vertical above the survey point. The internal spirit level makes sure the device is level to to the horizon. The graduated circles, one vertical and one horizontal, allow the user to actually survey for angles. APPLICATIONS 3 • Measuring horizontal and vertical angles. • Locating points on a line. • Prolonging survey lines. • Finding difference of level. • Setting out grades • Ranging curves • Tacheometric Survey • Mesurement of Bearings CLASSIFICATION OF THEODOLITES 4 Theodolites may be classified as ; A. Primary i) Transit Theodolite. ii) Non Transit Theodolite.
